switch the appliance off and
disconnect it from the mains
to avoid possible electric
shock.
▪ WARNING: The appliance
and its accessible parts get

on the hob as they can get
hot.
▪ WARNING: It can be danger-
ous to leave the hob unattended when cooking with fat or
oil, as this can lead to fires.
NEVER attempt to extinguish
a fire with water. Instead,
switch the appliance off and
then carefully smother the
flames with, for example, a lid

▪ WARNING: Never store ob-
jects on the hob due to the

1.4 Instructions for use
Before using for the first time
▪ The appliance must be installed and
connected to the electricity supply in
accordance with the separate installation instructions. Have a qualified fitter/
electrician carry out the necessary
work.
Correct use
▪ The appliance is designed for use in
the home for preparing food. No liability
is assumed for any damage caused by
improper use or incorrect handling.
▪ Any repairs, modifications or manipula-
tions to the appliance, especially any
electrically live parts, may only be carried out by the manufacturer, its Customer Services or a similarly qualified
person. Repairs if carried out incorrectly
may cause serious injury, damage to
the appliance and fittings, as well as affect the functioning of the appliance. If
the appliance is not working properly or
in case of a repair order, follow the instructions given in the «Service & Support» section. Please contact our Customer Services if necessary.
▪ Use original spare parts only.
▪ Retain these operating instructions for
future reference. If you sell the appliance or pass it on to a third party,
please ensure these operating instructions accompany the appliance, together with the installation instructions.
▪ The appliance corresponds to recog-
nized technology standards and the relevant safety regulations. However,
proper use of the appliance is essential
to avoid damage and accidents. Please
therefore follow the precautions given in
these operating instructions.
▪ The heated surface will remain hot for
some time after it is switched off and
will cool down only slowly to room temperature. Please allow sufficient time for
the appliance to cool down before, for
instance, cleaning it.

1 Safety precautions
Note on use
▪ Tests have shown that under normal cir-
cumstances there is no risk to cardiac
pacemaker users. If, as the user of a
cardiac pacemaker (or a hearing aid or
another type of implant), you would like
to be reassured that using the appliance does not pose a risk, you are advised to consult a competent medical
authority.
Caution: Burns hazard
▪ Overheated fat and oil can easily catch
fire. Never attempt to extinguish burning
oil or fat with water. Danger of explosion! Smother the flames with a fire
blanket. Keep doors and windows
closed.
Caution: Risk of injury
▪ Keep pets away from the appliance.
Caution: Risk to life
▪ Packaging materials, e.g. plastic film
and polystyrene, can be dangerous for
children. Danger of suffocation! Keep
packaging material away from children.
How to avoid damaging the appliance
▪ In case of overheating, switch the hot-
plate off and allow it to cool down completely. Do not put any dishes on it. Under no circumstances use cold water to
cool it down quickly.
▪ Do not climb on to the appliance.
▪ Do not put hot cookware on the hob
frame in order not to damage the silicone joints.
▪ Do not cut or prepare food on the sur-
face and avoid impact with hard objects. Do not drag cookware across the
surface.
▪ Take particular care that sugary foods
or juices do not get onto the hot cooking zones as it can damage them. If
sugary foods or juices do get on to the
hot cooking zones clean away immediately (while still hot) with a scraper.
▪ Pots with pure copper or aluminium
bases should not be used for cooking
as they can leave behind traces that
can be difficult to clean. If the traces
are not removed immediately after
cooking with a suitable cleaning agent,
they can be permanently burned on and
therefore permanently ruin the visual
appearance of the appliance.
▪ Sliding pans and cookware across the
glass ceramic causes scratches. This
can be largely prevented by lifting pans
and cookware up and then placing
them down in position.
▪ The hob is designed to be used – signs
of use, such as scratches or the wear
and tear from pans and cookware, are
normal. The more intensively it is used,
the greater the signs of use; however,
the appliance remains in perfect working order and therefore does not give a
right of complaint. Safety is guaranteed
at all times.
▪ There is no such thing as completely
scratch-proof glass; scratches can even
develop on sapphire glass, which is
used in watches. The glass ceramic
used is of the best quality available on
the market.
